Our Elena-Gabriela Ruse vs Mirra Andreeva Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Mirra Andreeva dominates 6-3, 6-1
Reason: Andreeva has been in blazing form over the last 7 matches, dropping only one set in this stretch. This year, Andreeva has become a deadlier opponent because of a much-improved return game that has created 82 break-point chances, converting 50 percent.
Ruse has also impressed with her back-to-back sweeps in the first two rounds, but none of these players matched the form and caliber of her next opponent. Ruse is a solid player on the tour, and she certainly has the tools to pull off a shocker, if given the chance. However, it will take a ton of luck and elite ball-striking to touch this version of Andreeva.
